I am writing this blog post using a software tool called ScribeFire 2.0. ScribeFire is an “add-on” to the Firefox web browser. I maintain two blogs–this one and the one other over at the KamVu website. The ScribeFire editor allows me to write using a WYSIWYG editor, change fonts and color, add links, view and edit HTML, view the appearance of the blog entry before it is posted, and a host of other things. It allows me to switch between blogs with the click of a button, easily edit something I have gotten wrong on an all ready posted entry, add links, my own and Flickr images and YouTube videos directly from the GUI, set indentions and alignments, write and save future entries, maintain a list of entry ideas, etc., etc., etc. If you blog everyday and use Firefox, ScribeFire is a must-have.

Christian has been putting together a little trailer we got along with our John Deere garden tractor. Last night, we spent an thoroughly enjoyable hour together out in the garage finishing it up. After we finished, Kelly and Christian pulled each other around the yard in the tailer until we made them come into the house for dinner.

Update: Check this out! I think Eric’s kids were three or four when they started mowing the lawn! I do not know whether it is because he is smarter than me or his kids are smarter than my kids, but is probably BOTH! I wish I would have though of this earlier!
